Guys,

Does anybody on here actually play the game we love?

I started playing in January this year for a new team called the DC (Durham County) Presidents. I play at LG and C and wear the #53 shirt after Redskins legend Jeff Bostic. So far have played 2 games one against Teesside University which we lost and another in early July against the Crewe Railroaders which we won 62-0. We have another game in telford against the Shropshire Revolution on October 29th

I played for a few team over the past 20 years, but had to quit last year due to very serious knee injury. I played most Oline/Dline/LB positions, but my strength was deffo at LT. Highlight of my career was playing in Div 1 against some truly great players

I know alot of the Revolution players, having played against them many times. They are a very very physical team, but a great bunch of lads. Keep an eye out for their #44.

Shame that you had to quite mate

You might have played against the Presidents when they were originally around then mate. Used to be the Washington Presidents i think. Played from mid 80's to the mid 90's.

Yea we have been warned about the #44 already so should be prepared for him.

Not sure I played against any teams from the north east?

Revs have one of the best D-lines ive played against., all big lads!

Barney (#44) will line up as DE on the right and will just power in a straight line to the QB. Try loads of sweeps, counters, misdirections and reverses as they tend to stack the middle leaving the sidelines free!

Come to think of it , one of my old coaches at Peterborough was a coach of the Hartlepool steelers many moons ago..
